Mike Andrews'' Hand On String reviewed....
from ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Mike Andrews, who created the magical score for Donnie Darko, delivers a poetic first solo album that proves he doesn''t need another''s narrative to produce inspired work. The story he tells is of the precariousness of relationships, illustrating it with diaphanous vocals, off-kilter arrangements, good old-fashioned musicianship (he plays most of the instruments), and charming eccentricity — two Hand on String songs reference citrus (''''Hello Lemon,'''' ''''Orange Meet Lemon''''). It takes nerve to step out from behind the scenes, but in this case, the effort was most fruitful. Grade: A-
from SPIN MAGAZINE
Mike Andrews is best known for composing the scores of cult film Donnie Darko and cult TV show Freaks and Geeks. But on his gorgeous pop debut, the California multi-instrumentalist establishes his own dark romanticism, whispering through a fog of guitar effects (you''d swear he was playing a harpsichord and Mellotron). His melancholy mood pieces are designed to keep you awake longer than any midnight movie. 4 STARS!
"...Hand on String is a melodic, melancholy collection reminiscent of artists like Nick Drake and Smog...." -LA Weekly
"...a skilled ear for composition and mood, diverse instrumentation, gentle delivery, and subtle variety...''Tracings'' will haunt your very core with its beautiful slide guitar...." - Tiny Mix Tapes
" ...a beautifully orchestrated, hauntingly played album of intricate music...." - Spacelab
"...Andrews echoes vintage acoustic troubadours such as Nick Drake and Cat Stevens, juxtaposing mellow, sunny soul with eerie and consumptive darkness. Although the music on Hand is a marked departure from the Allstars'' jazz- and funk-tinged boogie, it''s equally ambitious...." -Westword
"...One of LA''s finest musicians and producers...." https://www.tradebit.com
